Well, beat the drum and hold the phone, the sun came out today
We're born again there's new grass on the field
Roundin' third and headed for home it's a brown-eyed handsome man
Anyone can understand the way I feel

Oh, put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Look at me I can be center field

Well, I spent some time in the Mudville Nine watchin' it from the bench
You know I took some lumps when the mighty case struck out
So say, "Hey Willie Taylor Cobb and Joe DiMaggio
Don't say it ain't so you know the time is now"

Oh put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Look at me I can be center field

Yeah, I got it, I got it got a beat-up glove
A homemade bat and brand-new pair of shoes
You know I think it's time to give this game a ride
Just to hit the ball and touch 'em all, a moment in the sun
It's gone and you can tell that one goodbye

Oh, put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Look at me I can be center field

Oh, put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Look at me I can be center field
